A REPUBLICAN ON THE ADMINISTRATION
POLICY.
SPEECH
OF
SENATOR
OF PENNSYLVANIA,
Delivered in the Senate, June 27th, 1864.
Mr. Cowan Miiil: I think, Mr. President,
that our course in regard to tho Southern
pcoplo has lieon ol' a character entirely tho
reverso oi' that which would have hecn suc
cessful in suppressing tho rebellion. Wo
wore filled with incorrect ideas of tho work
wo were engaged in, or of tho only methods
by which wo could perform tho gigantio
task wo had undertaken. Wo started out
with exaggerated notions of our own
Btrencth. and wo disdained to think tlmf.
our success depended upon tho loyal men of
tnc aoutn ; wo thought wo did not need
them, and treated them accordingly. Think
of such a proposition as that contained in
this law, that if they do not lay down their
arms in sixty days they will bo punished by
loss of thoir estates 1 How pray, arc they
to lay down their arms? Surely wo know
enough to know that this is mero mockery,
and that tho rebel president might as veil
expect a soldier in our armies to lay down
upon a promise of protection.
Mr. President, 1 have sometimes doubt
ed whether wo could bo serious when wo ex
pect any good result to come from such
measures as this, which not only exposes us
to ridiculo but docs harm to our cause.
What was wanting in this crisis of our his
tory with new criminal legislation, when the
codo was complete before? We had a stat
ute punishing treason with dcatli ; a ,nist
ana proper punishment, one well according
with tho magnitude of tho crime as well tis
the majesty of the law which inflicted it.
For all those who conspired tho dismember
ment of tho republic, who used the means
and perverted the state trovornmnntH to
bring it, this is the fitting punishment, be
cause u is me iiigncst aim laus upon tno
tho guilty alone, where it ought. I would
have nad no additional laws; in law thoy arc
not needed. I would have contemplated
no reforms within the area of the rebellion;
they cannot bo mado at such a time. What
wo wanted was men and money ; these gran
ted, the true function of Congress was over
until peace was restored and all parties again
represented. Put above all tilings 1 would
not havo played into the hands of tho ene
cmy: I would not have done that which the
rebels most desired to havo done, because J
havo no doubt that this, aud kindred schem
es havo been the very ones which they most
wanted us to adopt. I do not know that
Jefferson Davis ever prays; but, if ho does,
1 have no doubt ho would pray
Mr. Wade. Pray for just such an advo
cate. Mr. Cowan. Pray for just such a states
man as thy honorable senator from Ohio,
tho most effectually he ever had or could
have.
IIo woukl havo prayed for measures on
our part which were obnoxious to all people
of tho South, loyal and disloyal, Union and
disunion. lie would have prayed that we
should outrage all their common prejudices
and cherished beliefs ; that wo should do
these things by giving ourselves over to tho
guidance of men whom it was part of their
religion to hate; to hate personally and by
name, with an intensity rarely witnessed in
the world before. Ho would have prayed
for confiscation general and indiscriminate ;
threatening as well tho victims of tho usur
pation as the usurpers themselves ; as well
thoso wo were bound to rescue as those wo
were bound to punish. Fcrvcntlyhe would
have prayed for our emancipation laws and
proclamations as means to lire the southern
heart more potent than all others; thoy
would rally the army populations to his stan
dard of revolt as if each had personal quar
rel He would then have a united South ;
while as tho result of tho same measures a
distrcatcd and divided North.
That is tho way I think he would havo
prayed and would pray now. Is any man
so stupid as not to know that the greatdesiro
on tho part of every rebel is to embark in
revolt with him tho whole people of tho
disaffected districts? Is not and has not
that been considered enough to insure suc
cess to him? And whero docs history show
tho failure of any united people, numbering
five or six millions, when they engaged in
revolution? Nowhere; there is no such
case.
, What did wo do to bripg this unity about
in tho South ? Wo forcot nur first, ronlvn
in July, 1801, to restore tho Union alono,
and wo went further, and gave out that wo
would also abolish slaverv. Now. that was
just exactly tho point upon which all south
ern men wcro most tender, and at which
they wore most nrono to bo alarmed and of
fended. That was of all thincs tho one
best calculated to mako them ot ono mind
acainst us: there was no other measure, in
deed, which could havo lost to tho Union
cause so many of them. It is not a ques
tion either as to whether thoy wcro right or
wrong that was matter for their consider
ation, not ours, for if wo wcro so desirous
of a union with them, wo ought not to have
expected them to give up their most cher
ished institutions in order to effect it.
Unions arc mado by pcoplo taking ono
another as they arc, and I think it has nev
er yet occured to any man who was anxious
io ioiiu n partnership wun another, mac no
should first attempt to forco that other ci
ther to change his religion or his politics.
Is not tho answer obvious ; would not the
other say to him: "If you do not like my
principles, why do you wish to bo partner
with mo ? Havo 1 not as cood rieht to ask
you to change yours as a condition prece
dent I
So it was with tho Southern people; thov
wcro all in favor of slavery, but one-half
of them wcro still for Union with us as be
fore because thoy did not bcltcvo wo wcro
abolitionists. Tho other half wcro in open
rebellion becauso thoy did bclicvo it. Now,
can any on canceive of greater folly in our
part than wo should destroy tho faith of
our friends and verily that of our enemies?
Could not any body havo foretold wo would
havo lost one-half by that, and then wo
would have no ono left to form a union
with? Wo drove that half over to tho reb
els and thereby increased their strength a
thousand-fold.
Is not all this history now? Tho great
lact is staring'usfullin tho faco to-day ; wo
aro contending with a united people des
perately in earnest to resist us. Our most
powerful armies mostskillfully led havo here
toforo Auled to conquer them, and I think
it will fail as long as wo pursue this fatal
policy.
Now, Mr. President, I appeal to senators
whether it is not time to pauso and inquire
whether that policy, which has certainly uni
ted tho southern rmnnln in tlioir fni,an nnA
which quite as 'certainly has divided the
northern DCOtllo in' thnir Rimnnrt nf nnra
ought (o bo abandoned at onco. Why persist
in it lontror ? Can WO dn nnthini in rrt rinvn
our fortune by retracing our steps? Can we
not divide tho rebels and unite tho loyal
men of tho loyal slates by going back to tho
single idea of war for tho Union; or is now
too Ialo? Have wo lost irrecoverably our
hold on tho affections of our countiyinen
who were for tho Union in lPOl even in
1802? Is there no way by which wo could
satisfy them that wo yet mean Union, and
not conquest and subjugation? And what
a difference in tho meaning of those two
phrasesl Tho first offers tho hand of n
brother, tho second threatens tho yoke of a
master. Orate wo obliged now to oxchango
tho hopes wo had of southern Union men
for that other and miserable hope in the no
gio? Is he all that is left of loyalty in tho
bouth, and tho only ally avc can rely upon to
aid us in restoring tho Union? Yo gods I
what have we como to at last? Kither to
yield to mi unholy rebellion, to dismember
an empire, or to go into national compan
ionship with thu negro! Is this the alter
native to which our madness has brought
us?
Mr. President, these things aro enough to
drive, a sane man mad. After all our pre
tensions, all our boasting, how absurd will
wo appear in the eyes of all other nations if
wo laii in tins btruggle! Especially as al
most nil tho measures about which wo have
occupied ourselves for the last three years
have been based upon our success already
assumed as a fixed fact. We provided for
confiscating rebel estates before wo got
possession ; wo freed slaves beforo wo got
them from their masters; weprovided fortho
disposition of conquests wo have not made ;
wo havo disposed of the skin of the bear
and tho bear itself is yet uncaught. All
this wo put upon the record; the statute
book will bcarc witness against us in till
coining time; and we cannot escape tho con
sequences if" wo fail.
Mr. President, our government was inten
ded to be one of law. prc-cmiucutly of law.
There was to bo nothing in tho administra
tion of it left to the arbitrary will of an in
dividuals, This was its merit, or intended
so, par excellence, lam for preserving its
character in that respect strictly. Let no
man, from tho President down to the
most petty officer, dare to do anything,
whether to friend or enemy, except as war
ranted by law. Let us make war according
to law, and Ictus havo Tpcaco according to
law. If we fight a belligerent enemy, let
us do it according to tho law of nations.
If we punish or restrain a refraetorycitizen,
Ictus do it by tho law of the land, "by due
process jf law." Had we bad faith in our
Constitution and laws and our people, we
had not been in our present condition.
Had wo made war and war alone, the loyal
pcoplo North and South to a man would
have been with us. The voice of the fac
tion, if not entirely hushed, would have
been harmless. The capital of the dcnia
gougo would have been worthless, and the
nation would havo been irresistible. Had
we treated the negro as tho Constitution
treats him, as a person, as another man;
had wo made no distinction or difference
between hiinand other citizens, we had not
aroused against him that terrible antipathy
which will be far more likely to destroy him
than a false philanthropy will be likely to
elevate him in the scale of being. If be
was friendly to us the same use could have
been inado of him that wo. havo mado; wc
could have enlisted him in our armies now
as wo have been enlisting him in our navy
for long years. Wo could havo received
him as a volunteer, if ho was able-bodied
without looking to his complexion, and wo
could nave uraitcu nun without inquiring
into tno relations wnicn existed between
him and his master, any more than wc in
quire into the relations of tho white man of
twenty years of ngo with his parent or his
guardian. State Taws adjust all thoso ques
tions, but to tho United States it mado no
difference whether ho owed his service to
individuals or not; ho owed his first duty to
the republic as military service was reouirod.
All this was lawful, and no loyal man ever
did or would have complained of it, kindly
done in tho proper spirit.
I havo only to say, in conclusion, sir, that
I hope that the joint resolution will not be
repealed, and that this and all kindred pro
jects will fail in the future, for tho simple
reason that tlic strengthen the rebels by
uniting their people with them and thoy
weaken the Union cause by dividing its
friends nnd distracting them with unnecess
ary issues, Lot us unite upon tho single
idea of suppressing the armed opposition to
uiu Kutuiiuuuui. uiu energies ui uic

Rather Severe on Lincoln.
Tho editor of tho LaCrosso (Wisconsin
Democrat is not. wo conclude, a great ad
mirer of Old Abe. In a late article he
says :
use jlerm. ilio Jjincom nanors sav
that .Lincoln should nave two terms in oi
fice. i In tho lantruaco of Ilenrv Ward
5cecher, we ask if this is not "damned hot."
Two terms ? It is against nature. Kgvpt
had but ono term of lice, frocs, snakes
(synonymous with Abo's office holders).
lilth, famine and plagues for all wickedness.
Spam hud but one term of noted robbers.
Heaven had but ono term of revolt, and
that was sotted by forcible secession I Bogs,
have but one term of hydrophobia ; horses
have but ono term of blind staggers ; chil
dren havo but ono term of measles, chicken-pox,
whooping-cough, mumps, and such
dis-cases. This being tho case, may Al-
Cod forbid that wc are to havo two terms
of tho rottcnest, most stinking, ruin-wor-ing
small pox ever conceived by fiends or
mortals, in tho shape of two terms of Abe
Lincoln's administration."
Dr. Franklin's Toast.
Long after tho victories of Washington
over tho French and English had mado his
namo familiar to all Lurono. Dr. Irankhn
chanced todinowith tho English and Erench
Ambassadors, when, as nearly as tho prcc
iso words can bo recollected, tho following
toasts wcro drank.
England Iho Sun, whoso brisht beams
enlighten and frucitify tho remotest corners
of tho earth,
Tho French Ambassador, filled with na
tional prido, but being too polito to dispute
the previous toast, drank tho following:
Franco The Moon, whoso mild, steady
and cheering ravs aro the delight of all na
tions consoling them in darkness and making
their darkness beautiful.
l)r. Franklin then arose, and, with his
usual dignified simplicity, said ;
Ocorgo AVashington The Joshua who
commanded the Sun and Moon to stand
still, and they obeyed him.
The Administration is opposed to invol
untary servitudo for tho negroes in tho
South but it has no hesitation in conscript
ting nil tho whito men of tho North for in
voluntary or forced servico in tho army.
Compulsion for tho whito, but not compul
sion for tho negro, is its motto.
An editor, in Bpcaking of a steamboat,
said: "Sho had twelve berths in tho ladies
cabin." "Oh. hfo of nie. exclaimed an
old ladv unon readinc tho abovo. "what a
dreadful squalling there must have been."

The Draft.
All well thinking men agree that the order
for a new draft of half a million more men,
at the very moment the President refuses to
consent to the restoration of the Union, is
unwise, oppressive and unjust. But let it
be borne in mind that his action is author
ized by a law of Congress passed, it is true
by a strict party vote every Democrat voting
in tne negative.
Nevertheless tho act is law and no pretext
should be given President Lincoln to declare
martial law in Ohio. Tho hope of liberty
rests in tht ballot box let not that hope be
destroyed by inconsiderate action. Ml.
Vernon JSanncr.
Tho Banner is right. Tho President is
acting in conformity with law in calling for
500,000 more mem and if attempts shall be
made to resist the inforcement of a Draft, it
will furnish the, Administration a pretext
to proclaim martial law, by which mcancs
alone it can bo continued in bower. J.ho
salvation of tho country is dependent upon
tho deteat ol Lincoln at the ballot-box in
November. Tho means of his defeat, there
fore should not bo recklessly thrown away.

The Celestial State.
Old Rickctsi was a man of labor, and had
a little or no tinio to devoto to speculations
of tho future. Ho was, withal, rather un
couth in his use of language.
One day, whilo engaged in stopping hog
holes about his place, ho was approached by
a colporteuro and presented with a tract.
"What is this nil about?" demanded
Rickets.
"That, sir is a book describing the celes
tial stato," was the reply.
"Celestial state," said Rickets.
"Where tho deuce is that?"
"My worthy friend I fear that you have
not"
"Well never mind," interrupted Rickets:
I didn't want to hear about any better
Stato than old Pennsylvania. I intend to
live and die right here, if I can only keep
them darned hogs out."
The New York World believes that an
investigation would show that of tho one
hundred and twenty-five million dollars ap
propriated for recruits, at least onohalfofit
found its way into tho pockets of tho fellows
who aro now bawling for Lincoln.

THE PEACE MEETING AT DAYTON.
SPEECH
—OF—
HON. C. L. VALLANDIGHAM,
HON. C. L. VALLANDIGHAM, At the Peace Meeting in Dayton—His Views
of the Chicago Nomination—He Predicts
Peace and Harmony.
People or Montoojieuy Countt : It
was not my original intention to bo present
at your meeting to-day, and I am hero now
only becausoof tho disappointment to which
you havo been subjected. It has not been
you know mo well enough to believe bo-
cause 1 wished to avoid any responsibility
that I have kept from taking nny part in
the public- assemblagcs of my countrymen
in the city of Dayton, sinco my return from
exile; and I returned, lot me say, of my own
accord, and because 1 had a right to bo hero.
IThat's so. I expected within ten- days to
attend the Convention at Chicago, and de
clared it was not my intention to address
any public assemblies until a platform had
been adopted and a candidate selected. Tho
postponement of tho Convention gavo mo
two months more rest ; and although I had
rest of a certain kind during my absence of
a year and forty days, it was not of that sort
which I desired. Accordingly I have refu
sed all invitations to speak, availing myself
of the opportunity offered mo to enjoy for a
time tho pleasures of my own home, from
which I have been so long deprived. It has
not been, therefore, to avoid responsibility.
I need mako no explanation on this point,
even to abolitionists. I think they under
stand by this time that, after the fashion of
ono greater I, than I take the responsibil
ity. (Cheers.)
CHARACTER OF THE MEETING.
Neither was it for tho want of interest in
the object of this vast assemblage to-day
that I had declined to be present. I feel a
profound solicitude in all that concerns tho
people, and have borne some testimony to
tho strength and endurance of that solici
tude. Put I was not present with you to
day for the additional reason that this is
not a political meeting. It is a meeting
emanating from tho fountain head tho
people, it is a constitutional meeting, not
an assemblage of members of a party, for
the purpose of advancing the interests of
any organization, much less the interest of
any particular candidate. It is such a meet
ing as the people provided for when thev
established the Constitutional safeguard,
that the people have the right to peaceably
assemble and consider measures for the re
dress of their grievances.
ABOUT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
I axpect speedily, by" tho grace of God
and I ask no higher authority to bo at
Chicago. And the eyes and the hearts of
the nation are turned in that direction.
Evcn I'epublicans, in the silent slumbers of
the night, the hearts of hundreds and thou
sands of them are turned to the Chicago
Convention pray that wisdom may direct
its action, as 1 have not the doubt it will.
hen its work 13 finished, then will 1 bo
ready to devote myself, from morning till
night, and from night till morning, if need
be, to a discussion of the subjects that will
be involved in the struggle to follow.
And this is your business here to-day, in
which I feel the profoundest interest. It
is your right to come together and express
your opinions, for you come not to hear the
sentiments of others, but to speak your
selves. The effects of such a meeting as
this, gotten up not at enormous expense
and labor, but responsive to the better im
pulses of the people, can not fail to reach
and take hold on tho seats of nower. You
speak here not as Democrats, but as citi
zens of ajl parlies. One-third of those who
called this meeting are men who have been
been hitherto supporters of Lincoln. Ap
plause!. To-day you come together for the
purpose of considering the burdens you suf
fer; and if ever a people, since the Israel
ites were compelled to make mortar without
straw, suffered grievances which demanded
redress, you are that people. You do right
to come up here for that purpose. The
long catalogue of grievances which you now
groan under, has been summed up in your
resolutions. You have treasured them in your
memories, you have felt them in your per
sons and in your houses. 1 hough the des
troying angel has not passed through tho
land, and taken your first-born, he lias ta
ken hundreds of your first-born at the com
mand of Lincoln. You do well, without
distinction of party, to demand a redress of
your grievances, and insist on a cessation of
hostilities. It is vain, as the attempt to
destroy one of those trees by tapping its
branches, to think of continuing the war,
and avoid increased taxation and greatly
multiplied calamities. I am hero then not
to speak of thoo topics which ordinarily en
gage the attention of political meetings, but
to refer to matters of higher interest to you
as a people.
I can assure you, as far as my judgment
is worth t anything, that that Convention
will meet in harmony, will sit in harmony.
adopt the right kind of a platform, nomi
nato a true candidate, and furthermore,
that that candidate will receive a constitu
tional maiority of the votes that will elect
him President of the United States.
Great cheers. In tho spirit of patriotic
men, who love liberty and their country,
and laying upon the altar all our private
griefs, all our prejudices and passion and
preferences for one man over another, and
maintaining only fidelity to principle, we
will como together and make such a nomi
nation as will bo acceptable to all. Then
Lincoln's reign of arbitrary power will como
to an end. Then will commence tho work
of rebuilding the magnificent structure
which our fathers reared and placed in our
keeping. Then will begin tho work of re
ducing taxes, of stopping drafts, of arrest
ing the fearfuldestructionofwar. of staunch
ing tho flow of blood, of re-establishing that
state of things in tho land which is descri
bed in sacred history, which our fathers en
joyed, and which we hope our children may
yet sec, when "every man shall sit down
under his own vino and fig tree, with none
to malce araid." As it is now, whose
cheek is not blanched, whose heart is not
broken by fear by day and terror by nighty
when ho remembers that every safeguard of
constitutional liberty is broken down, and
every man's castle liable to be invaded, his
doors broken down, his person violated and
driven from homo, because ho dares to as
sert his principles which in youth wcro
taught him by tho purest, the best and the
wisest of men, and which in manhood he has
the courage to practice ?
If you want more taxation, a larger pub
lic debt, vote for Lincoln. If you want re
newed drafts of men to carry on tho war,
vote for Lincoln. If you want him to tako
your first, second and .third born sons,' tc
carry on tho war, vote for Lincoln. If yon
want to find your currency in a ruined con
dition, your greenbacks woth thirty cents
on tho dollar; if you want tho price of eve
rything you buy to go up, and everything
you sell to go down-for tho day is not far
distant when your merchants will bo oblig
ed to demand gold and silver for what you
buy, and they will pay you for your produc
